pthread_detach

pthread_detach(3)					     Library Functions Manual						 pthread_detach(3)

NAME

       pthread_detach - Marks a thread object for deletion.

LIBRARY

       DECthreads POSIX 1003.1c Library (libpthread.so)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pthread.h>

       int  pthread_detach(
			   pthread_t	 thread);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       IEEE Std 1003.1c-1995, POSIX System Application Program Interface

PARAMETERS

       Thread object being marked for deletion.

DESCRIPTION

       This  routine marks the specified thread object to indicate that storage for the corresponding thread can be reclaimed when the thread ter-
       minates.  This includes storage for the thread argument's return value, as well as the thread object.  If thread has  not  terminated  when
       this routine is called, this routine does not cause it to terminate.

       When a thread object is no longer referenced, call this routine.

       The results of this routine are unpredictable if the value of thread refers to a thread object that does not exist.

       A thread can be created already detached by setting its thread object's detachstate attribute.

       The pthread_join(3) routine also detaches the target thread after pthread_join(3) returns successfully.

RETURN VALUES

       If  an  error condition occurs, this routine returns an integer value indicating the type of error.  Possible return values are as follows:
       Successful completion.  The value specified by thread does not refer to a joinable thread.  The value specified by thread cannot be found.

ERRORS

       None
